Hello everyone..


We wanted to spread the word about our new little venture.. We have noticed that East Dulwich is lacking in the affordable clothes market especially for both Men and Woman. So, after a lot of thinking we have got ourselves a pitch at the new Warehouse behind Cafe Nero on Lordship Lane.. Its such a lovely place and anyone who hasnt been in there yet should give it a try.. So we have set up a clothing store called The Apartment selling vintage and modern second hand clothing.. there is a mix of original 70's coats bought in Brooklyn, NY and old LA T-Shirts to modern lables such as French Connection, Coast, Zara etc.. It is just an experiement at this stage for one Saturday only (next week)so we will be charging very low prices to test the water. We are a little nervous about the whole thing but very excited and would love you all to come down and have a look. If it's a rip roaring success then we will keep the pitch... next stop Covent Garden...

You could be on to a very good thing with this - many people have been looking, especicially men, for clothing locally. I think White Stuff is ok but it's a very narrow idea of clothing


I'll be popping on on Saturday - all the best

Does this mean I'll be able to finally drag my other half into Dulwich of a weekend? He refuses to come shopping with me as there is so little in the way of Men's shops.


I think its a great idea. i popped into the warehouse yesterday and to be honest it was pretty quiet. It seemed such a shame and I'm not sure why. Has it not been advertised well?


Hello everyone by the way - I'm new to the forum but think I may already be addicted to it..

Hi Shell, resistance is futile...


and EarlyTowers, I'm very excited about this - as I have vigorously asserted elsewhere on the forum, I don't expect to be able to buy all my clothes in ED, but I'm very excited at any new opportunities to pick up more interesting stuff (more interesting that White Stuff!) The ethical clothing stand in the warehouse is fab, so you'll be a very welcome addition.


I'm actually away next Saturday, so won't be able to come down - hopefully though it will be a roaring success and I'll see you the week after!

AAAhhh very pleased with all the friendly responses so far.. We have only booked for one saturday at the moment to see how it goes. If it works, we would definately want to expand to other days, but we thought we would pick the busiest day to start off with.. lull us into a false sense of security...

We still have one week of sourcing new stock so if anyone has any suggestions of what sort of things they would like to see on sale, we would really welcome your input..

But things like this retain the creativity of Dulwich.It is relatively small I suppose but its only a minutes walk from Cafe Nero and thats constantly busy - the warehouse has the potential to be a really great addition to this area - we mustn't let it close - we need to support these ventures.

The warehouse as a venture is a great idea but for me it lacks substance. I do still pop in every so often but there is nothing different or special going on there.


I will, however be down next Saturday to see if the temporary addition will flick switches..


I hope the place stays .. as long as it improves..

Its a tricky one.


The nice bloke who runs petit chou is thinking about having a cafe in there - but isn't sure there is the custom. Yet a really good coffee bar would help bring in the custom i'm sure.


Chicken and the egg but I hope he goes for it.


You're right though Benjaminty it does need more. A music stall would be great.

It's better than it was, but still a bit of a Double Deckers/Why Don't You feel about it. All that's missing is the beanbags. I don't want designer chic, but it's too church hall gonk for me. (I do go, however, and buy cheese and oysters, but wouldn't want to linger.) Nero

I would love a little cafe in their sellling great coffee. Used to pop into Le Chandelier but I now feel it's a bit to 'glam' if you just want a cup of something. I usually go after the gym and look pretty red faced and unattractive. A little cafe where I could go without having to put make up and smart clothes on, would suit me to a t.

Hello Slinks,


Thanks for your interest - we have a selection of women's ( and men's ) jackets and coats so hopefully you'll find something to keep out the cold. And dont worry about it being overpriced. We dont have the overheads of spitalfields so are able to keep prices nice and low.


Most of our items will be between ?5 and ?18 with the odd very special item going for a little more.


Hope this answers your question.

Earlytowers.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
